Back mountain.
There are countless undead souls in Wanjian Pavilion buried here.
Their strength was terrifying when they were alive, and their resentment was overwhelming after their death.
Some people died in the war, and some died in the aftermath of the war, perishing together with the group of sects who came to reap the benefits.
All are worthy of admiration.
Because even at the last moment, their souls still belong to Wanjiange.
They sleep here forever, and perhaps you can hear their stories in the whining wind, and you can also hear their cries every night when the rain falls.
Fate never seemed fair, and no punishment was imposed on the plunderers.
They are still roaming freely between heaven and earth with their sins all over their bodies.
No one cares about these souls who are sleeping here. It is just a lonely grave, like a peaceful hill, low and vicissitudes of life.
Yun Shu walked past here and sighed when he heard the wailing sounds.
But he didn't stop. Maybe people who often come to Back Mountain are used to it.
He didn't think it was spooky or weird here, just some praise for those souls.
A sect cannot be without its backbone. These people are like the backbone of the sect. Even if the sect has been destroyed, after the changes in the world, there will still be descendants who will remember them.
"By the way, Patriarch, what kind of treasure is that sword test stone in the back mountain?" Yun Shu asked.
"Is it a sword test stone? It was something made by the master of the weapon refining in the sect at that time. It contained many spiritual techniques and techniques, as well as some weapons he made himself. The famous swords of the Ten States were made by him. "Yes." The Patriarch's voice came over, "In fact, I didn't expect that something of this level had not been moved or destroyed."
"There should be a part of my sect's inheritance in it, but it's a pity that it requires sword power to open it." The patriarch's voice was full of sighs, "We still laughed at him at the time, what use could he make such a dark thing? To think that after thousands of years, it is the only one that still exists.”
Yun Shu nodded gently and didn't ask too much.
This left a root for the sect, but the specific reason why it was not moved away may be difficult to tell.
Even if other sects are not aware of its value, they may still know some of its functions.
If it were Yun Shu, even if he couldn't get it, he would destroy it.
Without stopping too much, I walked to Master's wooden house.
The master's house is in the center of the back mountain. Even in the daytime, it is extremely dark and windy, which is no joke.
"Master, my disciple Yun Shu wants to see you."
Yun Shu bowed respectfully to the wooden house, and then spoke.
"Come in." The old voice inside said calmly.
Then the door slowly opened.
Yun Shu bowed again before walking in.
The old man in gray robe raised his head and glanced at him, "How about going to compete this time?"
"I was lucky enough to get first place." Yun Shu said,
"There is no such thing as a fluke, especially for first place. You are lucky to be able to reach the middle, but you will definitely not be able to reach the top." The old man in gray robe smiled, "Since you can get the first place, it proves that you have the ability of the golden elixir stage. , if you want to inherit the sect, you can do it now."
"If you want to travel or join a more powerful sect, I won't object."
"But you have to remember that what you have got is the inheritance of Wanjiange Pavilion. Although you have obtained everything through your own efforts, Wanjian Pavilion also has the power to help. If the sect encounters a crisis, If I can, I will naturally help.”
Yun Shu was a little moved after hearing this.
Not only did the master not restrict him from going out, he even said that he just gave him a reminder.
If you can, come back and help.
If he has any concerns or lacks strength, Master will not force him.
The master's ability to reach this level of strength may also be due to his kindness and generosity. Such a master may be the leader in his life.
It can be said that Master is present at every important moment of my life. What a blessing!
Although the master would not discipline him too much, nor did he teach his disciples earnestly like many teachers in the world, he only gave him what he wanted when he needed it.
It can improve his cultivation and realm, and even enlighten him.
Such a teacher has been hard to find since ancient times.
"This disciple wants to inherit the sect, so he won't leave for now." Yun Shu was silent for a moment and then said.
Visible to the naked eye, there was a hint of surprise in the old man's cloudy eyes.
It can be seen that the master wants to inherit the sect himself.
However, the old man's joy did not last, and instead turned into worry.
"Your strength may not develop much within the sect, and the sect cannot give you too many resources. From my personal opinion, if you join a more powerful sect, It might be better." After saying this, the old man's expression paused.
"I have an old friend who is an outer deacon of the Supreme Sect. I can follow his relationship. As for your Wanjiange skills, you don't need to show them. With the speed at which you learn things, you may be able to learn them quickly. To be able to take root.”
After the old man finished speaking, he looked at him expectantly.
Yun Shu could feel the old man's eyes. The master was really thinking about him.
Although the master loves his sect very much, he can even forcibly break through his own skills to create some foundation for the sect.
But he didn't want to delay his future.
"The disciple has already made arrangements to prepare for the grand ceremony. Although the grand ceremony is dispensable and I don't want to be extravagant, I still want to inform each peak of the sect and even the surrounding immortal sects."
"As for the disciples' cultivation, Master can rest assured that even if he is in charge of the sect, he will not delay his cultivation. As for the cultivation resources, the disciples can plan for themselves."
"Okay." The old man in gray robe looked at him for a long time and then stopped. "Since you know what's going on, I won't say anything more."
"Leave the sect to you, and I can enter deeper seclusion. If anything happens to the sect, you can come and find me."
"As for the head brother, he will definitely appear at the ceremony. His cultivation has regressed now. You have to think about this carefully and don't let anyone catch you. After all, you are still young. If the sect really If you encounter any big setbacks, you will inevitably be unable to handle them." The old man thought for a moment before speaking.
Yun Shu nodded heavily, "Disciple noted it down."
The master is saying that the sect may become unstable due to the young master’s doubts about the country.
As for the outside world, when they learned that the previous head was only in the early stage of the Golden Core, it was inconvenient for the gray-robed old man to appear as a sect's background, and there would definitely be some influence and plans.
This is not good for the sect.
Not good for him either.
Yun Shu didn't say much, nor did he reveal his own strength. Now he could protect the sect from wind and rain.
No amount of strength is enough. If he can continue to develop in this small sect without being noticed by others, then it seems that it would be a good idea to wait until he becomes a top powerhouse and then make a splash.
The sect will benefit from following him, but the extent of the benefit will not be too great.
This is something he himself knows very well.
Next he went to see the leader.
It is naturally more convenient for the leader to be in the main hall above where he lives.
The door was already open, as if she knew he was coming.
After walking in, Yanagawa was reporting on the sect's progress below.
The leader stood there with a cheerful smile on his face, listening and responding, "Not bad."
Especially after seeing Yun Shu arrive, his eyes became even more approving, "You can get the first place in the competition this time, which can be regarded as a fight for the sect, but I don't know when you will take over." Sect?"
"Five days later," Yun Shu said, "I have arranged for my senior brother to prepare for the ceremony."
"That's fine. In fact, there is no need to delay it. Anyway, with your strength, it is enough. However, if I go out during the ceremony, there will be many people and it may be a bit troublesome." The leader said gently. He rubbed his brows, but then his eyes became determined, "It's okay, even if my strength has regressed a lot, now that you are in charge of the sect, my strength is no longer afraid of being exposed."
Yun Shu then took out a jade slip and said, "Master also has concerns in this regard. This is a breathing technique prepared by the disciple for the master uncle."
"Breath Condensation Technique?" The leader was a little surprised, and then he took it over and looked at it carefully. The smile on his face became thicker and thicker, "Okay, I will try to achieve great success within five days. This way Now I’m not afraid of people watching anymore, but your understanding is really the only one I’ve seen in my life.”
He never expected that Yun Shu would give him insights into the breath gathering technique. This was the crudest secret technique, but it was extremely difficult to achieve anything.
But now this kind of magical understanding is in front of me.
It details the operation of each meridian so carefully that you only need to follow what is said above.
This is a powerful ability to understand.
Yun Shu relied on this low-level breath-condensing technique to make it impossible for strong men of the same level to notice it at all. Even if a strong man of a higher level wanted to notice it, it would be extremely difficult.
He completely treats low-level secret skills as high-level secret skills to practice.
But the effect is still very strong.
No one can deny this.
"As for the details of the ceremony from now on, Yanagawa, please sort them out and show them to me. This is the last thing I will do for the sect as the leader. After the ceremony, I can practice here with peace of mind. "The leader was a little emotional.
But then he seemed to find something, "No, I have lived here for decades and I am used to treating this place as my residence, but now it is time to take it out. After all, the sect only has such an intact main hall, and the walls There are sword patterns on it, and if you practice in it, you will have a more thorough understanding of the way of the sword."
"I'll just go build a house in the back mountain, that's it." The leader said with a smile. "Just like your master."
"You can stay away from people, and at the same time, I won't interfere too much with your decision-making. You can decide the matters within the sect by yourself. If you need anything, come to me again."
The leader himself naturally planned to retire completely.
There is no need to play hard to get or to break the ties. Since the position has been given to the young people, then let the young people manage the sect in his own way.
Wanjiange is already like this.
How bad can it get?
At the same time, he was also afraid that Yun Shu would run away.
Judging from the decisive battle described by Yanagawa, Yun Shu's strength and potential seem to be stronger than Chu Huangyue's.
After all, he is the person who can make Chu Huangyue take the initiative to admit defeat, and there is no adulteration at all, and he will not give up the first place to others just because of some friendship.
If you win, it proves that you are better than you.
Such disciples, even if they are only in the false elixir stage or are new to the golden elixir, their future is limitless.
If you want to take over the sect, then let him do whatever he wants.
As for the real strength, no one may know it. He once asked the old man in gray robe about Yun Shu's personality and other things. He even wanted to know a little bit about his strength, but it was obvious that the old man in gray robe was not very good. It is clear what level this disciple has reached.
Others don't understand even more.
He himself had talked with Yun Shu several times and recognized him very much, but even he didn't know much about Yun Shu's specific strength.
There seems to be no need to explore.
Judging from the two competitions of the Sect Competition and the Four Sects Competition, his strength has at least reached the Golden Core level!
As for the realm, no one knows.
Even if it is known, it may be improved soon, so it doesn't mean much.
"Thank you, Master Master." Yun Shu gave a solemn salute.
He also has great recognition of the leader, and this elder seems to be very pure.
He is very powerful and has enough talent to manage the sect, but it is a pity that he was attacked by a gangster and his foundation was damaged. Otherwise, his achievements may be far more than this.
As for after that, living in seclusion, it seems as if this person does not exist at all.
But as long as the name is still there and does not come out, it seems to be even more oppressive than coming out, because it will make people unable to distinguish between reality and reality, which will also kill those who want to pry into the sect.
Such people know how to tolerate, are strong and talented.
No matter from which aspect you look at it, it is a must-have for those who achieve great things.
It's a pity that bad luck didn't work out, otherwise something would have happened.
After Yun Shu came out of the master's hall, he said, "Senior brother, I'll worry about everything next."
"What are you talking about? I'm doing all the work for you, and you're writing my thoughts on the exercises for me. Isn't it very reasonable?" Yanagawa smiled naturally. "Some invitations will be sent out during this period, but they are limited to these four major sects. As for others, we don't need to invite them, so this ceremony may not be so grand."
"If you invite outsiders, you can invite more people. You can also invite those you haven't contacted for a long time, or even talk to some casual cultivators." Yun Shu thought for a moment, and then said.
"Then if we have to invite so many people, we can't keep everything simple."
"Why not? We don't need to show it to others. The sect is indeed very poor. Let them come here just to receive a small gift. The things these people send are directly sold down the mountain and exchanged for spiritual stones. Give it to me." Yun Shu said and left.
Yanagawa froze on the spot in astonishment.
"It turns out that Junior Brother Yun had this idea, which I didn't expect. Wouldn't it be too inappropriate to keep everything simple? And also invite so many people to watch?"
"Forget it, don't think about it anymore, let him say whatever he says. Anyway, the sect belongs to him, so he can do whatever he wants."
over the next few days.
Yun Shu naturally ignored the uproar caused within the sect. He continued to be immersed in the state of cultivation. Yanagawa did everything else.
On the third day, Yanagawa came to him and said, "You are quite leisurely."
"This is the plan I wrote down. I have given it to the boss to read. You can take another look. If there are no problems, then that's it?"
Yun Shu took the plan, but after just one glance, he felt it was too extravagant, "Why should we use spiritual fruits to entertain them?"
"Isn't it the same with ordinary fruits?"
"And it'll be a little sweeter."
"There is absolutely no need to spend spiritual stones on this, and there is no need for a new robe. The one I have now is fine. I can just go to a tailor at the foot of the mountain to customize it."
"Also, this ceremony has been cancelled. It's a waste of time."
"."
Yanagawa looked at him and pointed with numb eyes, and finally looked at him with a resentful look, "You are really unworthy of the family. Everyone else has come and brought you gifts. How do you entertain guests like this?"
"Then of course we should treat you with whatever you have. If you don't have it, there is no need to get so many things." Yun Shu shook his head gently, "And the title should also be changed. Don't still use the title of leader. Since it is Wanjian Pavilion, wouldn’t it be the same to call him the Pavilion Master?”
This is a sign of respect for the previous leader.
He is still more accustomed to calling the master master the master.
As for other things, I may have some of my own ideas in it.
Yanagawa still looked at the opinions he put forward numbly, "You can just ask me to rewrite it. Besides, you didn't ask me to write this kind of thing before, so why are there so many opinions now. "
"Because I don't understand, I can only summarize the existing things." Yun Shu said matter-of-factly.
Yanagawa put away the paper and looked at the sketches on it. "That's it. I won't come to you. After a few days, you can just go and see it."
"Okay." Yun Shu smiled, "Excuse me, senior brother."
"Who asked me to take this errand?" He put the things away. "There has been a lot of excitement in the sect recently. Even Shangguan Yi has left seclusion. The old guy is in seclusion just to attack the golden elixir. He has wanted to sit in that position for a long time, but I didn't expect that you would take the lead."
"Then there is nothing we can do about it." Yun Shu said, "If he could ascend to the position of leader earlier, he would naturally have nothing to do with me. Now we are in a fair competition. He is old and cannot compete with me. No Is that normal?"
"And he can't beat me. Senior brother, just go ahead and do it. He can't cause any trouble." Yun Shu took out a seal from his arms, "Senior brother, just use this seal to seal it after it's done."
"Okay." Yanagawa took it over.
Then he shook his head with emotion, "This is a good thing. Many people are coveting this position, but Shangguan Yi doesn't need me to do anything. The leader of Xuanjian Peak has already talked with him a lot, although the words are very fierce. , but the two were still very friendly and did not fight."
Yun Shu, "..."
He actually remembered the fiery temperament of the leader of Xuanjian Peak. The two of them did not fight, which was really a sign of restraint.
The leader of Xuanjian Peak had made it clear that he wanted to support him, and Yun Shu felt that it didn't matter anymore. He would wait until the ceremony was held to discuss anything else.
After it was held, he no longer cared about those things.
These are just small things, and they are also extremely insignificant. There is no need for him to go out of his way to solve them.
Within the sect, the change of the leader will not affect the lower-level disciples, nor will it affect the middle-level disciples. How they live has almost nothing to do with who is the leader.
Because even if someone changes, it will not have any impact on them.
Whatever tasks there are above, they will still carry out them honestly, without any ideas of their own, and no one can listen to their voices.
The biggest impact is on the top and top.
And they will have some power in their hands, able to influence those at the middle and bottom levels.
Therefore, as long as those at the top and top are controlled, the sect will not be in chaos. As for how they do things, it doesn't seem to matter at all.
"Any other questions?"
"No more." Yanagawa gently shook his head, "There are also discussions within the sect, and there are also discussions outside the sect, but there is something very interesting. Those outer disciples regard you as a god. Are you from The outer disciples came here, they are extremely supportive of you and regard you as part of them, and they are extremely proud when they mention you."
"When was I recruited from the outer disciples?" Yun Shu smiled and shook his head, "I was obviously recruited from the handyman disciples."
"To be able to achieve what I am today, it may be that experience that shaped me."
"Then you are very inspiring." Yanagawa said seriously.
"No, I have also been numb. Many times I lamented that I couldn't help myself, and I also lamented the unfairness of fate."
"But many times, destiny can only be controlled by one's own hands. Innate qualifications may not be able to limit a person's life. Even if there is no spiritual root, the path to immortality will be cut off."
"I just use some, or even all, of my time to complain to improve myself."
"Of course, this is from the perspective of having achieved something. If I were still the same as before, my mood may be different when I say these words, and I may also be full of resentment. must."
"But one's footsteps can never stop."
"Whether you can see ahead or not."
"Cherish the road under your feet. That's the only time when you can make your own decisions. Confusion is a certainty."
Yanagawa looked at him from the side, and Yun Shu seemed to rarely sigh like this.
He always feels so high-spirited and passionate.
Then he said, "Pavilion Master Yun's life experience is really rich. It's a pity that these words were not heard by the outer disciples, otherwise they might really work harder to learn from you."
"That's really a pity." Yun Shu also smiled softly.
